"Tom was great. As his job proceeded there were plumbing problems, but he worked around the plumbers. His price is fair, he was dependable, clean, and respectful of my house. I have another drywall project and I plan on hiring Tom again."

"I hired PV Painting to paint and do some drywall repair on the interior walls of my home. Petar, the owner, did an outstanding job. He arrived on time every day. He took great care of my home. He covered my furniture and floors before starting work. He used good paint products. He cleaned up at the end of every day. He left matching paint for us; a very nice touch. Petar's skills in painting and drywall are exceptional. I could easily see Petar takes great pride in his work. He was friendly and professional in all my dealings. I did end up adding more work to my project while he was here and he graciously accommodated me. I really appreciated that. I would not hesitate to hire him again!"

"Roger was great! He did some drywall ceiling repair from a roof leak. He kept in touch while awaiting for payment from the roofing company. He arrived when he said he would. Meticulous workmanship and very personable. I will call on Roger next time I need a project completed."

"I had the absolute best experience choosing JRC Improvement for a complete living room ceiling takedown and install. Any drywall work is always messy, however, Jason sealed off my living room so well, it truly contained the expected dust. Jason was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. After completing the entire ceiling, he primed, and painted beautifully. The craftsmanship and attention to detail he used, led to the entire project exceeding expectations. My ceiling is flawless, and he also installed a brand new fan. Extremely easy to work with, Jason, restored my faith in contractors. I would without hesitation, recommend Jason, and JRC Improvement for any home project!"

"I had a wonderful experience with Sean Duggan, of Duggan Home Services. He replaced the sweep and weather seal on my storn door and he was reliable, responsive, and reasonably priced. When his timing changed, he texted me to keep me updated, which I really appreciated. What impressed me most was the extra care Sean took. He noticed some debris on my sidewalk--not even near the area where he was working--and took the time to blow the sidewalk clean. It was a small gesture, but it said a lot about the kind of person he is and the pride he takes in his work. Sean also went above and beyond the original scope of the job. I needed help replacing a shower fixture because I didn't have the proper tool, and he kindly agree to take care of that for me as well. He was personable, kind, neat and professional, completed everything on time, and did excellent work. I would absolutely hire Sean again. He's a rock star!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

Yes, wainscoting is installed directly over drywall. However, ensure the drywall is in good shape since it will support the wainscoting. If the drywall has issues, such as holes, mold, or mildew, repair them before installing the wainscoting. Alternatively, you can install a plywood substrate before attaching the trim.
